Abstract
The virtual element method has been developed over the last decade and applied to problems in solid mechanics. Different formulations have been used regarding the order of ansatz, stabilization of the method and applied to a wide range of problems including elastic and inelastic materials and fracturing processes. This paper is concerned with formulations of virtual elements for higher gradient elastic theories of solids using the possibility, inherent in virtual element methods, of formulating C1-continuous ansatz functions in a simple and efficient way.
